Proposal: Making spells with U easier to cast

Add the following to Rule 2.5.1, “Basic Spells”:
The spell U-Collapse has “ROAST” as its activation sequence. Its effect is “Change any subsequence of your Workbench consisting entirely of ‘U’ to become one ‘U’.”
The idea is that if you have UUUU, you can change it to just U with this spell.

I wonder how hard it would be to write a program that, given an initial workbench and a target workbench, would output the shortest list of actions that would need to be taken to get from the initial to the target.
Klisz:
Hmm… maybe some sort of genetic programming…
Apathetic Lizardman:
@DC: I doubt it would be hard. Maybe if I have the time I can write a shell script on my Linux program. Or at least I’ll try anyway. I would try it in JavaScript but I can’t remember specifics.
Klisz:
I’m currently writing a GP-based one in Ruby.

@Qwaz: Why?
Qwazukee:
“Consisting entirely of ‘U’” to me means a single U. But if everyone else disagrees, then whatever.
tecslicer:
I agree with Qwaz, this rule would not do anything. “Consisting entirely of ‘U’ runes” would change the workbench.
